New Model Y Ultra Red

Dang, super sexy

The license plate location is the thing that’s killing the back end look for me

The Performance version could be very appealing

Looks slick!

The back bumper looks wierd

I still can’t unsee “Hyundai” in the refresh

I don't know why but it kinda reminds me of a modern take of a Prius. Especially the red Prius Prime...

Yeah I’m curious of that too

I have no problem with the front of the refresh. The back is too busy.

Really like the front bumper camera and ventilated front seats. As a current 2023 MYLR AI4 owner, I will wait a few years for the AI5 update... or so I keep telling myself...

Does anyone else think that the same charge port cover from the taillight assembly throws off the new design? It looks out of place and doesn’t “flow” with the redesigned rear lights. It’s a dated look from an otherwise overhauled exterior design.

Can confirm nyc by those yellow cab sienna and rav4s

Oh…my…god…gorgeous!

Red or Quicksilver

Bring Cherry Red to the US, you cowards!

It looks super weird. I haven’t seen a single picture yet where it looks flattering. That big wall of metal is just a bad look.

I think once the license plate is installed, it won’t look so weird. Easy enough to photoshop even in ms paint, but I’m on my phone right now.

But the license plate doesn’t go there. It goes all the way at the bottom on the gray bumper-ish area.

QS.

Oh you’re right. I see the license plate lights. In that case… ya it’s pretty fugly lol

Personally don’t like the microsuede on the dash, glad it’s limited to the launch.

Even the seat design doesn't look cohesive.

Yeah, looks like... an enlarged Cadillac with a light bar.

Super sexy Smart car out the window.. Now we're talking!

Damn that looks good

I would like to get the new Model Y but there are increasing number of vandalism against new Tesla cars, most notably Cybertruck and new Model 3.

So is there a third brake light??

Now that there's a camera in the front bumper, we're going to need a different non-paint-attached front license plate holder (like Quick Bandit for the old design).

Always struggled with the shape of the Y, it's the most practical model but looked a bit odd. Looking forward to seeing one in the flesh looks much improved.

They did something to the back that completely ruins the side profile. It makes the rear wheels look comically small. It's obvious if you compare it to the side profile of the old model Y. Kinda ruins it for me since I can't unsee it

This is the only color I really like on it

To me the original Model 3 and Y were both more distinctive designs. After all these were the clean sheet of paper designs- not just front and rear refreshes. The new front light bar looks like every other Chinese EV competitor and as for the split light design: one, it’s god awful and two, puts the headlights in a position to be more easily damaged. Also it’s more parts. How does this follow the less is more design principle ? The powered rear seat is a party trick and incredibly slow compared to just letting the seats fall or raising them up using your own muscles. And another thing to break. Losing the gear shift stalk was also dumb. If you’re going to do a redesign, why not make room for a mini spare tire? That said the better roof glass, ventilated seats and improved ride all sounds good,

Look like if you live in an area with snow, you have no front headlights with that nice snow catching lip and super narrow lights.

Looks good, Gonna wait for the long range RWD version and probably gonna take this Red color!

The review on Jay Leno's garage advises that the 3rd light is still there.

It's growing on me

How do you guys afford the insurance? I got a quote today and the insurance is almost as expensive as the monthly payment.

I understand the reasoning, reducing damages during rear end collisions. I still prefer the rear of the TMY than something like the overwrought treatment that is Cadillac.

The new red looks much better than the old red.

Yeah, that butt looks so cheap.

Good news is this will likely spur development of 3rd party alt bumpers and tailgate mods.

Still no driver screen

Yeah, I could get used to the front but I think the back looks hideous.

at the end of last year I have to buy Highland M3 Ultra red/white interior-oh! boy the combination is so cool.

prefer the 2022 red 😩

Red looks so good

Have you seen it in person? It looks great

I like the front but that rear is ugly. Looks like a bubble.

The all new Hyundai Civic... 😜 Honestly, if they would have just not put the front light bar across the hood, many of these comparisons to cheaper vehicles would have never happened. While the monolithic/ futuristic design elements look better on the Y refresh than where they have been tried before on other cars, it still reminds you of those other cars... At least on the Cyber truck it could be argued as necessary because of the material strength and structure elements of that vehicle. For that exact reason it's actually visually forced on the model y and not a feature.

Ultra Red looks so good.

Looks dope. I'm so glad they relocated the LEDs to the lower part of the bumper.

No, I haven't seen any on the roads yet. It reminds me of a lot of other cars I don't like though, I'm not a fan of the rear light bar look.

The back looks like a Lincoln somehow

IMO Tesla needs to dump Franz.  Many questionable choices

It looks awesome, great updates IMO.

Go see it in person, that made me a believer.

Two best colors. The QS goes with the "cyber" styling since it looks closer to metal, but red is gorgeous. I am debating those two as well. Stealth grey will also look decent and free

Looks awesome! Damn

the .5 lense isnt helping either

Should have kept the license plate higher and molded the body around it like normal

Launch edition

White is nice as well imo, which I wouldn't normally say.

Saw an Ultra Red S yesterday, that color is striking in person.

Do not know what it is but really prefer the older design over the new one.

I have a novel x with the ultra red and w model 3 with the previous red. Previous red just looks better.

I love this colour. I wish mine was this red.

i want to see a sporty two seater for 30k

I wonder if the phone charger actually works in this one…

Yeah I think it's the perspective, to a high degree.

At least it isn’t shaped like a banana.

For the probable constraints regarding manufacturing and money, I think he did a not too bad job. Though neither the 3 nor the Y had only chocolate sides to begin with. The Model S was/is visually most appealing to me, with it's relatively wide rear arches.  However some aspects of it nowadays look really old, like the cheap font for the model name (it's so 2000s it's hard to not cringe) and the front logo integration.

Agreed. Back is the problem for the new version.

The Interior is way better than on model 3. And in general now Model Y now looks more expensive than 3.

I see it too, but are you sure it isn’t F-stop camera related stuff?

Honestly, I thought the old Y was ugly as hell, and the worst looking Tesla model. The new one is still the worst looking, in my opinion, but I do like the new design better (a little).

Unibrow lights. Meh

I would honestly look at Rivian, BMW, Mercedes etc. we are looking to get out of ours.

I fucken love tesla

The silhouette, the front, and the rear all look like they were designed by different people who had no communication

I think he just deferred to someone below him. He’s made it. He’s not hungry. Artists always have this issue.

Which country do you located?

Artificial lighting. You cannot trust what you see.

Cool but the liberals are going to attack it

Looks great. Much nicer than the current model, not even close. Makes the current model look so dated.

The Prius clearly was built to look more like a Model 3/Y. The pre-Tesla Prius was very different.

I preordered Rivian R2, which unfortunately has a 2026 release date. I hope my current car can hold it together until then.

They have this same colored new Y at the Fashion Square mall Tesla showroom in Scottsdale AZ. In person it looks great. I sat in it and the interior feels very premium compared to my 2023 Model 3. If I wanted a Y-type vehicle right now, I’d seriously consider it.

Teslas for me are either Red or White

The light bars look terrible

I truly believe this new model y only looks good in white MAYBE stealth grey. I thought the old y looked best in white but this one ONLY looks good in white imo

😂

They only removed the logo in some markets , we still get the badge in AU.

Looks sexy af ! Great job Tesla! Can’t wait to see it in person in Australia !

Looks great!

And now I cannot unsee the Toyota Prius rear (2023 or newer models).

I really like the Ultra Red and whatever red that Mazda uses.

Love the front, hate that the back now looks like a Prius.

Red paint with red light bar, would prefer this in white paint or black paint

For real. Usually it’s Hyundai copying the design of others. This tesla looks like a sonata refresh.

Lmao damn so the did put the light bars on it. Feeling kind uhh about it

Idk how i feel about this one.

Wait they don't have Cybercab in the NYC location anymore??

Intentionally ruined a good design. And no, I don't just mean the United States Constitution.

That Model Y Ultra Red looks incredible! I can't wait to see it in person. What do you think of the new design?

I like the current Y but I will say the refresh looks sharp in person...pics are nice, but don't do it justice.

I bet some large, staggered wheels would make it look pretty sporty with how beefy the body is.

The headlights are lower where there's no lip (like where the fog lights used to be), the lightbar is just a daytime running lamp.

Lots of hate in the comment section. For me, it’s a winner. Can’t wait to pick mine up!

Just no.

The front side and back all feel like they have a different aesthetic take. Feels kind of disjointed?

It really looks better in person! Wide angle photography distorts the appearance.

Where’s the little crooked cross emblem?

So clean!!

Red is definitely the party color. George Lucas knows what’s up…

Got those last gen Prius tail lights.

Beautiful.

It’s beautiful in person.
